Answer:

b) 472HZ, 408HZ

Explanation:

To find the frequencies perceived when the bus approaches and the train departs, you use the Doppler's effect formula for both cases:

f_o=f\frac{v_s+v_o}{v_s-v}\\\\f_o=f'\frac{v_s-v_o}{v_s+v}\\\\

fo: frequency of the source = 440Hz

vs: speed of sound = 343m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 0m/s (at rest)

v: sped of the train

f: frequency perceived when the train leaves us.

f': frequency when the train is getTing closer.

Thus, by doing f and f' the subjects of the formulas and replacing the values of v, vo, vs and fo you obtain:

f=f_o\frac{v_s-v}{v_s+v_o}=(440Hz)\frac{340m/s-25m/s}{340m/s}=408Hz\\\\f'=f_o\frac{v_s+v}{v_s-v_o}=(440Hz)\frac{340m/s+25m/s}{340m/s}=472Hz

hence, the frequencies for before and after tha train has past are

b) 472HZ, 408HZ

Answer:

-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C

Explanation:

r = Radius

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given by

E=-\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{1610\times 0.1^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge is -1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

Q+q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}-q\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{120\times 0.35^2}{8.99\times 10^9}-(-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9})\\\Rightarrow Q=3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge is 3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C

The charge inside will have the polarity changed

q=+1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C

Outside the charge will be

3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\\ =1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C

State any two effects of gravitational force​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.

Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.

Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.
